Is biosecurity fatigue a thing?
To have a difference of opinion is tiresome. To go beyond comfort levels and norms, can be exhausting. Never mind the physical application of extra steps and resources to implement a high standard of biosecurity.
Over an extended period, people get tired, start to second guess and question the validity of the required actions in a time when everything is extra, harder or new. Do or die, but no pressure!
With all these pressures, demands and drains on resources, how is biosecurity on farms, homesteads and properties holding up?
At first look, current research seems illusive. In coming weeks and months, Small Farm Canada will be investigating and reporting on the latest research and advice from experts on on-farm biosecurity fatigue, both in magazine and online.
